Principal Investigator
Ferran Brosa Planella
Ferran leads the Mathematical Modelling for Sustainability Group. He is an Assistant Professor at the Mathematics Institute (University of Warwick) since 2022, and a Co-Investigator of the Multi-Scale Modelling project of The Faraday Institution. His research interests are in the broad area of industrial and applied mathematics, with a particular interest in modelling of physical processes for sustainable development applications. He combines analytical techniques and numerical techniques to develop and study mathematical models, and use them to provide insight on real-life systems. From a mathematical point of view, he is interested in heat and mass transfer, continuum mechanics, moving boundary problems, and dynamical systems. Ferran is a PyBaMM maintainer and a co-founder of Ionworks.
Group Members
Kawa Manmi
Kawa is a Research Fellow at the University of Warwick and The Faraday Institution, and his work focuses on modelling the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase in lithium-ion batteries. He is also interested in fluid mechanics, in particular in microbubble dynamics and cavitation.
